'Watson' Episode 2 Starts Revealing Team Secrets

The premiere of Watson introduced us to a new iteration of Sherlock Holmes' trusted sidekick. Now being played by Morris Chestnut, John Watson kicks off the CBS series by restarting his medical practice after seeing Sherlock go over a waterfall with Dr. Moriarty (Randall Park). As with typical pilots, the first episode focused on establishing who Watson is, his connection to Holmes, and how the alleged death of his best friend and detective best friend has affected the doctor.

The second episode pivots focus to the team that Watson has assembled at his clinic. It seems that every person that Watson has assembled has some sort of secret to hide. Sasha (Inga Schlingmann) is in an unfulfilling long-term relationship with a man who treats proposing to her like it's paying taxes. Stephens (Peter Mark Kendall) thinks she should be with someone who appreciates her more. That person could be him, but he's got a secret digital relationship that his long-distance girl fears may bankrupt him, and we don't exactly know what that means.

Mary (Rochelle Aytes) is potentially dating the head of HR of the hospital, but John is trying to stop himself from digging into his estranged wife's personal business. The person that everyone needs to start digging into is Dr. Ingred Derian (Eve Harlow). Watson spotted that she lied on her resume about her acting skills, but the episode revealed that there's something much more sinister going on with the neurologist, and not even Watson may be prepared for what she's planning.
